Quiet booths are located on the second floor of the Library. Booths #1 and #2 are near the atrium windows on the northeast side of the building. Booth #3 is behind the compact shelving on the northwest side of the building.
The booths are sound-isolating rooms for one. They include a seat and a desk, so you can sit or stand with your phone, tablet, or laptop. The booths are helpful for when someone needs a quiet place for telehealth or counseling appointments, interviews, calls, study, and other private conversations.
The booths have electrical outlets, small fans to vent the air, and are sealed across the top and at the door. Though not completely soundproof at high decibel levels, the booths do allow for privacy by muffling conversation.
Important: Library rules must be followed in the booths!
